IT’S NEW! (Nov, 1955)

That flight-suit on the second page is one of the most steam-punky looking things I’ve ever seen that wasn’t actually designed to look that way. I also love the habit of just throwing a woman in the frame when they show pictures of weird stuff. Balance?

Let’s all sing, “When a cyberman loves a woman…”

Sorry for the double comment but doesn’t that scalp tingler on page 3 look like an early experiment in psychic research? I’m sure bald CIA agents are behind it!

The theater on page 4 is the North Shore Music Theater, still going strong (albeit in a somewhat remodeled form with fixed sidewalls). http://www.nsmt.org/

I’d hate to have to make a bathroom run in the middle of the night when using that cartop tent. “Be right back, dear.” *thud*

$20 in 1955 dollars for a pair of opaque plastic goggles with some slits in them?! good grief, now you can get tolerable polarizing lenses for the same sum in today’s dollars. figuring in inflation, those were some expensive slits.
